‘Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom’ Release Date Moves to Christmas 2023

The highly anticipated Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom is slated to arrive in theaters on Christmas Day 2023.

The news of the move comes as a surprise to many as it was previously expected to arrive in summer of 2022. However, the decision to move the release date to the winter season was likely based on the current global pandemic, which has caused numerous delays in the film industry.

The move to Christmas 2023 also has the potential to boost the movie’s global box office numbers. December is traditionally a big month for Hollywood releases, and Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom is likely to be no exception. After all, the movie is one of the most anticipated superhero films of the year, so releasing it during the holiday season could be a great way to capitalize on that.

In addition to the move to Christmas 2023, there have also been some casting changes for the film. Amber Heard has been replaced by Cailin Russo as Mera, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will be playing the villain Black Manta.

The film is set to be directed by James Wan, who also directed the original Aquaman film. It will be the first time in the DC Extended Universe that the same director has helmed two installments in the franchise.

The story of Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom will focus on Arthur Curry’s quest to find the lost kingdom of Atlantis and restore it to its former glory. Along the way, Arthur will face numerous challenges and meet a wide variety of allies and enemies.

While some fans may be disappointed by the movie’s delay, there’s still plenty to be excited about when Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom finally arrives in theaters. With the film’s release now just two years away, fans can begin counting down the days until they can experience the underwater adventure of Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom.
